What it is and how we handle it

Exports are zero-rated under GST. You can either pay IGST and claim a refund, or export without paying tax under an LUT and claim a refund of unused input tax credit. For most exporters the LUT route is better because no cash is locked up waiting for a refund.

The LUT has to be renewed every financial year, and exporting without a valid LUT means the supply is treated as taxable. Invoices must carry the line 'supply meant for export under LUT without payment of IGST', and goods must leave India within three months of the invoice.

We file the LUT, set up your export invoice format, and handle the refund of accumulated credit in RFD-01 when it builds up.

FAQs

Common questions for GST Letter of Undertaking in District of Columbia.

Search FAQs
6 results.
When should I file the LUT?
Before your first export of the financial year — ideally in the first week of April. It is valid for that whole financial year.
What if I exported without an LUT?
The export is treated as a supply on which IGST should have been paid. You can pay the IGST with interest and then claim a refund of that IGST, but the cash is locked up meanwhile. File the LUT before the next export.
Do freelancers exporting services need an LUT?
Yes, if they are registered for GST. Freelancers billing foreign clients can export without IGST under an LUT. Below the registration threshold, export of services alone doesn't require registration.
What happens if my foreign client pays late?
Under an LUT, payment for exported services must be received within one year of the invoice (or a longer period if allowed). If not, you pay IGST with interest, which can be refunded once the payment arrives.
What is the time difference between District of Columbia and India?
Most of District of Columbia is on Eastern time, so it runs behind India by 9.5 hours in summer and 10.5 hours in winter. We work mostly over WhatsApp and email, so you don't need to match Indian office hours.
Can I get GST Letter of Undertaking done while living in District of Columbia?
Yes. This is India-side work, so it is done online and you don't need to travel. If a document must be attested abroad, we tell you upfront whether a notary, a state apostille or an Indian consulate is needed.
